Mauricio, Jayson Maverick F.

I choose Biomedical Environmental Biology as I am really interested on partaking subjects that

will explore the wildlife in our country. One of the main reasons I took Biology as my undergraduate
course is the ability to observe and study flora and fauna firsthand. Hopefully by 10 years I am a
physician then, after finishing my undergraduate course. However, I am not closing my doors on having
a career in biodiversity research if better opportunities arose. In the time of pandemic, the connection
between human and environmental health can be looked upon especially in finding the vaccine for
COVID-19. As a graduate of Biomedical Environmental Biology Track, I can help the country by examining
the effects of environmental substances to living organisms or conducting environmental impact
assessment on development projects. Philippine biodiversity is very rich and we are just on the tip of the
iceberg when it comes to identifying and monitoring environmental conditions.
